Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T says: “Let's play a drawing game! I will draw in the air. Guess what it is.” T draws a simple shape (a circle with a tail) and asks: “What's this?”
Pupils
Ss look at T carefully and guess: “A kite!” or “A ball!”
Teacher
T draws a few more pictures in the air (a house, a fox, a tree) and calls on individual pupils to come to the front and draw in the air. T helps them with the words kite, fox, house, tree.
Pupils
Ss take turns drawing in the air and the rest of the class shouts the answer: “It's a fox!”
Teacher
T asks: “Who can draw well?” and praises the pupils who answer fast.
Pupils
Ss raise their hands and answer: “I can draw a house!” or “I can draw a tree!”
Teacher
T writes the words kite, fox, house, tree on the board and says: “Today we will learn how to ask if we can draw something.”
Pupils
Ss repeat the words after T and open their textbooks at page 2.
